Newport News- Hampton Roads Academy Heart Screening

High School Screenings

One high school aged athlete suffers a Sudden Cardiac Arrest every three days in the U.S! The leading cause of death in young athletes on the playing field is an undetected heart condition. The best way to detect these heart conditions is through a heart screening using an EKG (Electrocardiogram).

The Ryan Lopynski Big Heart Foundation in partnership with INOVA, The Children’s National Medical Center, and local Fire and EMS Departments, will conduct FREE ON-SITE heart screenings for high school and middle school age youths in Virginia. An EKG screening analyzes the electrical signals of the heart. The results are reviewed on site by local cardiologists.

2016 Screening

A parent or legal guardian must complete the Permission and Waiver Form and read the Letter to Parents for important instructions. A parent or legal guardian must accompany their child to the EKG screening.
